Excerpt from Wikipedia

Raspail is a station of the Paris Métro, serving Line 4 and Line 6 in the 14th arrondissement. The station is named after the Boulevard Raspail, named after 19th-century scientist and statesman François-Vincent Raspail.

The station is now fitted with Platform screen doors, due to the line 4 being fitted for automation.

History

The station opened on 24 April 1906 with the opening of the extension of line 2 Sud from Passy to Place d'Italie. On 14 October 1907, line 2 Sud became part of line 5. On 12 October 1942, the section of line 5 between Étoile and Place d'Italie, including Raspail was transferred from line 5 to line 6 in order to separate the underground and elevated sections of the metro (because the latter were more vulnerable to air attack during World War II). The line 4 platforms were opened on 30 October 1909 when the southern section of line 4 was opened between Raspail and Porte d'Orléans; this was temporarily separated from the section of line 4 opened on 21 April 1908 between Châtelet and Porte de Clignancourt. On 9 January 1910, the connecting section opened under the Seine between Châtelet and Raspail, completing line 4.

After the successful experiment of line 14, the RATP started to look forward to automating existing lines. After completely automating line 1, the RATP started focusing on line 4. Because of that, Raspail is already fitted with Platform screen doors.
